Composition

Dear my Teacher Paula, Happy Sunday! This morning, my boyfriend left for Singapore to attend a seminar, so I got up at 05:00 AM. He had to aboard his plane at 09:00 AM, so I helped him to prepare his flight. Because of the early schedule, I was worried that he wouldn't have his breakfast, so I made some egg-onion sandwiches for him. This recipe was so simple. It was okay for me to prepare a loaf of bread, chopped raw onion, mayonnaise and tuna. Then, mix those ingredients in a bowl and put those on bread, and lastly, cover bread on that. When he left from his house, I did let him take those sandwiches and mini tomatoes. After he left, I tried to sleep again, but I totally woke up, so I couldn't help to stay awake. At the time, I ran my washer and washed the dishes that were from making the lunch box. After finishing those, it was only 09:00 AM. To remove my empty feeling, I went to a coffee shop to read my favorite book. After 4 hours, I left there to meet one of my male friends. When I got home, it was 04:00 PM, and I had to clean up my room. Then, I folded the laundry, and made my dinner. Today's menu was chopped roast chicken with cellophane noodle, and the taste was so wonderful. However, I thought instantly that it would have been more delicious if I were with my boyfriend. He will come back here on Wednesday morning. Before I go to bed, I should call him to know if he arrived well to his hotel after a short city tour of there. Wait, I forgot to throw out trash. If I don't do that within today, I have to wait 2 more days. It is my time to put out the trash. ^^ Anyway, have a tight sleep and see you tomorrow. P.S.: Please help me to check if below sentences are correct. I'll be finished within half an hour. It is correct one, and you already checked for me. In this case, I know that I shouldn't put 'a' in front of 'half an hour'. However, I am a little confused if I should add 'a' in below cases. For your reference, I saw them on my dictionary. * I got there after two and a half hours. (or:two hours and a half) * He finished one and a half bowls of rice.

Dear my Student [이름],   A satisfying evening to you! ^.^   Thank you for sharing your Sunday whereabouts to me! ^^ It is an honor to hear those things from you. Well, frankly speaking, I like the way you spent your day yesterday. However, I like my day more. Hahaha! ^^, I am just kidding! ^^.   Yesterday was Mothers\' Day. We celebrated it by giving some flowers to our mother. We also prepared some dishes for our family to consume. I helped for the preparation. Don\'t expect too much. I\'m sorry to inform you that I didn\'t cook that time, but I shared some money for the celebration. We prepared \'Dinuguan\', Nachos, eight kinds of ice cream and banana-strawberry salad. I enjoyed our eating and chatting celebration. However, I think the things we did was not enough to show how much we love and cherish our mother. I just hope our mom enjoyed it the way we did.   Anyway, about your questions, I already wrote my answers below. Happy reading! ^^ Don\'t hesitate to ask more questions. See you tomorrow! ^^,   ...
